Physiotherapy Interventions for Migraine: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials.

Migraine is a major cause of disability and affects many people's lives. Traditional medications can have side effects and may not work well for everyone. This has led researchers to explore non-drug treatments, like physiotherapy. This systematic review looked at studies from 2015 to 2025. It focused on randomized controlled trials that examined physiotherapy for treating migraines. The review included adults diagnosed with migraines who underwent physiotherapy treatments, such as manual therapy and exercise therapy. The goal was to see if these physiotherapy interventions could help reduce migraine frequency and severity. The findings suggest that physiotherapy may be beneficial for some patients. However, more research is needed to confirm these results and understand the best approaches. Overall, this review highlights the potential of physiotherapy as a valuable option for migraine management. Clinical relevance: This research indicates that physiotherapy may effectively reduce migraine symptoms, offering patients alternative treatment options beyond medications.
